    In August 2023, I purchased four Continental tires that were advertised with a $110 mail-in rebate. The rebate was a deciding factor in my purchase. I submitted the required rebate form and proof of purchase by mail within the promotional period. Approximately six weeks later, when I had not received the rebate, I followed up with Continental. I followed up again the following year when reinstalling the tires and again this year. Despite providing proof of purchase and promotional materials, Continental has refused to issue the rebate, stating that they have no record of my submission and that the promotion period has closed.

    I complied with all instructions provided at the time of purchase and submitted the rebate within the advertised timeframe. This situation highlights a significant issue with their rebate processing, as my multiple timely attempts to follow up over the past two years were not resolved. I want to share my experience to inform other consumers about this issue. I encourage anyone relying on mail-in rebates from Continental to carefully track submissions and follow up promptly.

    I purchased a 2024 Chevrolet Malibu 2LT with 18000 miles. The car came with Continental Tires and since April 2025 when I bought the car, I had all 4 tires replaced twice under a Tire & Wheel warranty. Thank goodness I bought this warranty or it would have costed me thousands!! Each tire was $290 plus installed. Also the rims/wheels were all replaced as well $600 each because when the tires failed it caused the rims to crack. I have never seen a tire rip and tear on the sidewalls and just last week after hitting a big pothole, both front tires developed a bulge on the sidewalls.

    Listen, I'm 53 years old, and during my lifetime of driving, owning and leasing 17 cars, I have NEVER EVER had problems with any of the tires I had on any of those cars and SUVs. This is the first time having Continental tires on my car and as long as the warranty company keeps replacing the tires, I will keep these tires. After the warranty expires I am running, not driving lol, over to the nearest dealership and having them replaced with Michelins. Shame on you Continental for manufacturing tires that could be dangerous to drive on!! Blowouts are the worst, especially at high speeds. Everyday I get into my car, I have to do a visual inspection to make sure there are no tears or bulges.

    One last thing, the road noise is horrible!! Sometimes while I'm driving and talking on the phone over Bluetooth, I have to raise the volume just so I can hear what the person is saying. Again, I have never had a car with any kind of road noise like I have with this car, and it's because of the tires. Everyone that rides in my car asked me, "what the hell is that noise"? I tell them it's either the tires or the poor sound dampening from the car itself. I won't know for sure where the noise is coming from until I change brand of tires. Until then, I just turn the volume up on my radio. I hope this detailed review helped out others.

      Tires are great but their Customer service is trash, don’t hold their end to get you rebate offers. Trash company. Did everything they asked and they still deny the claim. Multiple trash customer service workers working my claim and not a single one of them was from US.

      Took our car in for oil change and told we need new tires. The problem is we put new tires on almost exactly 3 years ago and 25,000 miles. Very unhappy these tires have worn so poorly. Checked with customer service on warranty and you have to buy a new set, then send in the tires for them to determine if they will cover under warranty. I think tires wearing out this quickly means you have poor quality and the tires should be covered. Will never buy this brand again.

      2024 Ford Bronco Sport came with Continental Pro Contact TX tires. They were down from 9/32” to 2/32” tread depth in 19,000 miles. Junk. Because they came equipped on the new vehicle, Continental says there is no treadwear warranty. There will be no Continental products in this house ever again.

      The Continental Cross Contact 275/45 R21 was the OEM tire on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. Tread completely gone in 25,000 miles. Tires are noisy compared to the Michelins on my Suburban. The Michelins have 47,000 miles and still plenty of tread left.

      Don't but this tire!!!! Blow up while I'm driving on highway... Very bad customer service!!!!💩 Don't waste your money on that tire!!!! 💩💩💩✈️ After I buy the tire I don't feel good about it because it make a sound while I'm driving and went back 2 times to check it, they told me tire is good. Week later tire blow up and broke my rim, factory say the tire was low pressure, which this is wrong because a week before it happened. I was at the dealership and they check the tire and they say the tire is good.

      Bought a brand new 2023 Chevy Suburban (Premier) with factory Continental tires 275/60/R20. Regular dealer tire rotations and I just hit 29K. Tires are completely worn down and bald. Tread life warranty was rated for 70k. No explanation as I do not tow anything and live in a reasonably easy climate (socal). Yet here I am fighting with Continental Tire customer service for prorated replacement tires or some kind of action on their part. The Chevy dealership took measurements and submitted all the material as requested with photos. Continental didn't even bother to offer a discount to try them again. Bought a lot of tires in my lifetime and have never seen a company in denial like this. Stay clear of them - they do not stand by their products whatsoever. Stay clear and go with a tire brand that is trusted and stands by their warranty.

      I own a 2024 Kia Niro Ex Touring with 15,000 miles and OEM Continental procontact tires. Over the 4th of July holiday 2025. I was headed home traveling approx 40.mph. I heard a loud pop. Looked to my left and saw the top section of my left front tire flying off of my car. Immediately I pulled to the shoulder and it took at least 100 yards to slow the car down. I showed these pictures to numerous tire shops and they all said they never seen a tire do this. I'm in the automotive industry since 1981. This is a defective tire 100%. I hold kia and continental tires responsible.

      I have a 2021 Chevrolet blazer. The tires are Continental cross contact LX. This vehicle has been dealership maintain. Tires rotated. The predicted tire life on this tire is 48,000 miles. This vehicle has 17,000 miles on it the last trip to dealership. I need to replace my tires. They’re between 2 /32 to 3/32 wear on all tires. Replacement cost for tires would be $1200. These tires are very poor quality. I can’t believe a customer would have to replace tires practically every year on this vehicle. It’s not a sport vehicle. It’s not a Corvette. It’s not a Camaro. It’s a daily Driver. It’s garage kept. These tires are crap. I will never buy another continental tire. Also my background I was a GM master technician for 30 years.
